OIL s'rovni Application filed February 12, 1919."Seria1;No. 276,536.

T 0 all to hom it may concern:

Be it known that I, R DOLPH HOFFMAN,

a citizen of the United States, residing at.

Kankakee, in the county of Kankakee and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Stoves, of

arrangement illustrated in the drawings, forming part hereof, in which Flg. 1-1s a side elevation illustrating one embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2 is an underside plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary, vertical section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2. v

In the drawings, 1 indicates the base of an oil burner. having a burner vbowl 2 mounted therein, and 3 is afeed pipe for the oil, upon whichthe burner is supported by the means to be presently described. The feed pipe is in communication with, a suitable source of. supply (not shown). I

For the purpose of establishing communication between the feed pipe and burner bowl, valve-controlled means are usually employed. Herein I utilize such means] in mounting the burner upon the pipe, and to this end I provide an angular fitting 4: the lower end of which extends inwardly toward the center'of the base and is detachably connected to one side ofthe pipe 3. .At its upper end the fitting has an upright neck portion 5 connected with the burner bowl asby means of solder 6: The fitting is provided with the usual valve member 7 for controlling the flow of oil therethrough.

The means for detachably connectingthe' lower end of the fitting to the side of the pipe-3 maycomprise a shallow cup 8 securedto the pipe bymeans of arthreaded nipple. 9, the lowerend of the fitting i being shaped so as to enter-the cup. Prefer: ably a packing rin or-gasket 10 is provided between the end 0 the fitting and the cup, and a rigid clamp device in the form of a yoke 11 having'openings 12 therein for receiving the pipe 3, is adapted to cooperate with a set-screw 13 to clamp the lower end of the fitting firmly upon the gasket 10 in the cup. Said yoke passes around the fitting 4i, and the clamping screw passes through a bearing member-15 with which it-has a an opening 141 in the yoke, thence through threaded engagement, and into a recess 16 inthe outerside of thefitting. It will be seen that whenthe clamping screw 13 is tightened, the burner will be firmly held N upon the pipe and especially againsttiltingcircumferentially thereon.

To insure that theburner cannot tilt in a direction lengthwise ofthe pipe, the base is adapted to engage atsubstantially diametrically opposite sides with the pipe. To

this end the base is provided on opposite sides with two downwardly extending portions ,17 eachadapted't'o engage with the pipe so that when the fitting 4 is connected to the plpe by the yoke 11 and the clamp- I ingscrew- 13, the burner will be firmly held:

against tilting either circumferentiallyv or.

ing recess or notch- 18therein for therelongitudinally of'the'pipe. Preferably each of said portions 17 has a' rearwardly open-u ception of the pipe 3 so thatthe portions 17 may engage with both the upperand lowersides of the pipe and thus pr venting a lifting of the burner off from the pipe and supporting it in case the stove is inverted, as n shlpping. It will be apparent that the burner is held in position with the;

pipe entered'in said notches by the means. for detachably connecting the burner to the P P I It will be, seen thatI have provided a very practical methodof mounting the burner or burners of an oil stove in operative-posh tion therein. I The construction isvery simple and yet eifectively accomplishes its purposes. 5 Moreover the parts are soarranged that the burner is located directly above the pipe by which it isnormallv supported, and

by properly 'proportioning the parts the pipe may be arranged to support the burner and associated parts with the center of gravity thereofsubstantially: vertically above the pipe, thus relieving the connection between the fitting 4i. and the pipe 3 from unnecessary strain in carrying the weight ofthe burner. It will also be apparent that when desired, the burner may be quickly and easily detached from the pipe line with out removing or disconnecting the latter from the stove.

I. claim as my invention:

1. The combination of an oil burner comportion rigidly secured to the burner bowl at the forward side thereof and a substantially horizontal portionextending inwardly and rearwardly beneath the burner and detachably secured to the pipe.

2: Thecombination of an oil burner comprising a base having a burner bowl mounted therein, a feed pipe, and means establishingv communicationbetween the burner bowl and the feed pipe, said means comprising a fitting: having an upright portion rigidly secured to the burner bowl at the forward side thereof and a substantially horizontal portion extending inwardly and i'earwardly beneath theburner and detachably secured to the pipe, said base being adapted toengage at opposite sideswith the pipe.

3. The combination of an'oil burner comprising a'base having a burner bowl mounted therein, a feed pipe, said base having portions on oppositesides provided with recesses for receiving said pipe, and means establishing communication between the burner bowl and feed pipe, said means c'om prising an uprightportion rigidly secured to the burner bowl and a substantially horizontal' portion extending inwardly'beneath the burner transversely of the feed pipe and detacha'bly secured to the pipe.

i. The combination with an horizontal supporting member, ofa burner base having at its opposite'sides downwardly extending port-ions engaging with the upper and lower sides of the supporting member, and a part mounted on the supporting memherand detachably connected'withone. edge of the base to secure the burner in position directly over the supporting member.

5." The combination with an elongated supporting member, of'a burner base engaging at its opposite sides with the supporting memher, and a member having a portion rigidly secured to the base at one'edge thereof anda portion extending inwardly beneath the burner transversely of the supporting member and detachablysecured to the support.

6. The combination in an oil stove of a horizontal elongated supporting member, a burner comprising an annular member lo cated' directly above and supported by the supporting member, and a clamp device connecting said members arranged beneath adapted to permit, of the quick detachment elongated of the annular member from the supporting member.

7. The combination of an elongated horizontal supporting member, an oil burner comprising a base having at its opposite sides depending. portions arranged to engage with said member to support the burner above the member, a yoke member mounted upon the supporting member, a part located at one sideoithe base and rigid therewith, and means carried by the yoke member and operatively engaging said part on the base whereby to detachably s cure the burner upon the supporting member.

8. The combination in a blue-flame wickless oil stove of a horizontal feed pipe, a burner comprising a burner bowl and an annular member into which said bowl is provicing a connection between the feed.

pipe and' the' burner;

9. A supporting means for the burners of oil stoves comprising an annular member into which an annular burner bowlis adapted to fit snugly, said member having depending portions with. rearwardly opening notches for receivingthe feed pipe of the stove whereby to prevent the burner, from tilting on an axis disposed transversely of the feed pipe. T i

10. In anoil stove, the combination with a horizontal feed pipe, a burner comprising an. annular burner bowl, an annular member snugly receiving said bowl and adapted to rest at opposite sides upon the feed pipe, and means establishing communication be tween the burnerbowl and the feed pipe and detachably connecting theburner to the feed pipe, said means comprising a fitting connected to the forward side of the burner bowl andextendin'g rearwardly for connecand the pipe. 9

11. In a'stove, the combination lofa fuel feed piper a burner located above and supported by said pipe, and means connecting: said pipe and burner comprising a valve controlled fitting connected to one side of the burneig the arrangement being such that the burner is disposed with its vertical axis offset laterally toward the side of the burner oppositethe fitting whereby the center of gravity of said burner and fitting is located approximately over said pipe.

In test mony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand:
